Green Card Lottery 2023 – 2024
The entry period for the DV-2023/2024 Diversity Visa Program was between October 6, 2022, and November 9, 2022.
The Diversity Immigrant Visa program, also known as the dv lottery 2024, is a United States government lottery program for receiving the United States Permanent Resident Card. The Immigration Act of 1990 established the current and permanent Diversity Visa (DV) program.
The dv lottery 2024 is administered by the Department of State and conducted under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). It makes available 55,000 immigrant visas annually and aims to diversify the immigrant population in the United States, by selecting applicants from countries with low numbers of immigrants in the previous five years. Around 13 million people applied for the lottery in 2020.
Many deceptive agencies charge fees from applicants or falsely claim to increase their winning chances, but in fact, the only way to apply for the Green Card Lottery 2023 – 2024 is to complete the entry form on the Department of State website, free of charge. Only applicants selected in the lottery must pay a fee to continue the process.

Diversity Visa Green Card Lottery 2023 – 2024 Fraud Warning
The State Department wants DV lottery participants to know about scams involving fraudulent emails and letters sent to DV program applicants. The U.S. government is the exclusive operator of the DV program. It may send you an email reminding you to check the status of your entry, but it will not contact you by email or letter to let you know if you have been selected. You have to check online yourself. The U.S. government will also never ask you to pay for your visa in advance by wire transfer, money order, or check.
